I will be opting my account out of the #Bluesky bridge next week. If you follow me from Bluesky (I think there are about 3.9K of you) and want to continue seeing my posts you will need to get an account on the fediverse. Cheers.

@Gargron Any reason why? If there's accounts you don't like there, we have pretty extensive blocking features, including adding ATProto blocklists that pre-block a lot of negative accounts.

@Gargron Why?
I think it's a mistake. You, of all people, can bring people here. But they need to be able to hear/read you for that. -

@csolisr I think they would rather let the users decide for themselves. It's easy enough to block Bridgy.

Only your account? Do you have a say on banning the bridge from the entire mastodon.social domain? -

@Gargron True, but he only asked if you still had a say. I imagine you do still have some influence.

Good idea! The same goes for me and the rainbow bridge! (Because I couldn't get the Bluesky bridge to work for me anyway.) -

@Gargron Yay! Although you were loath to put many blocks on .social, one was no nazis. I am happy to know we won't be seeing ICE here, assuming new admins are on the same page.

@Gargron I'm surprised to see people ITT argument in favor of keeping their bridges up. Following the Nazi bar analogy, the onus lies on B*sky and bridgy to clean up their act, not fedi to let the Nazis into the bar anyway, because some not so bad customers still associate with them?

@Gargron that sounds like a good idea. How do you do that?

@Gargron In solidarity with you and all you have done for us, I've deleted my #Bluesky and #twitter accounts....permanently.
I plan on focusing on #fediverse and other forms of decentralization, as well as personal privacy technology.
You inspire us all!
